Yes, the petroleum industry is using GPUs in production. At Hess Corporation, we have our main seismic imaging codes running in production on nvidia GPUs. I have several presentations you can find on the internet, if you want details.
There are several other companies with some similar success. WesternGeco/Schlumberger gave two presentations at nvidia's recent GPU technology conference on their efforts and successes.
